Trump Administration Cracking Protesters‘ Phones
29 July 2017
The feds are breaking into peaceful protesters‘ phones and stealing their data. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
“Officials seized Trump protesters’ cell phones, cracked their passwords, and are now attempting to use the contents to convict them of conspiracy to riot at the presidential inauguration.
Prosecutors have indicted over 200 people on felony riot charges for protests in Washington, D.C. on January 20 that broke windows and damaged vehicles. Some defendants face up to 75 years in prison, despite little evidence against them. But a new court filing reveals that investigators have been able to crack into at least eight defendants’ locked cell phones.
Now prosecutors want to use the internet history, communications, and pictures they extracted from the phones as evidence against the defendants in court.
Evidence against the defendants has been scant from the moment of their arrest. As demonstrators, journalists, and observers marched through the city, D.C. police officers channelled hundreds of people into a narrow, blockaded corner, where they carried out mass arrests of everyone in the area. Some of those people, including a journalist and two allegedly peaceful protesters, are now suing for wrongful arrest.”

Good grief! This is beyond disturbing. I want my country back!

One should hope there will be so many demonstrators that it will become impossible to effectively spy on them.
